Your dataYour chartReady to share
From spreadsheet to something worth sharing
Your first chart, one step at a time.
- 01
Add a table
Copy a table from your spreadsheet and paste it into the editor, enter values directly, or choose “Try sample data” to explore. Use a header row to name your columns and keep each column consistent: categories, dates, or numbers.
- 02
Choose what to show
Pick a chart type and map the columns to the chart. Decide whether you need individual values or a summary such as a sum or average. Check the preview against your source table before refining the design.
- 03
Make it ready to share
Give your chart a useful title, check labels and units, and adjust colours and layout. Download a PNG for your document or slide. Use Save when you want to sign in and keep the chart in your workspace.
Eight ways to tell the story
Choose a chart that fits your question.
Compare categories, follow a trend, or show a share of the whole. These examples show the chart types you can choose inside the editor.
Stacked bar
Show the parts within each category.
Compare a product mix across regions. Use a small number of segments so the total and its components remain easy to read.
Line
Follow a change over time.
Show weekly orders or monthly spending. Put dates in a consistent order and use separate series when comparing trends.
Area
Emphasize the scale of a trend.
Show how a volume changes over time. The filled area draws attention to magnitude; use it when that matters to your message.
Pie / donut
Show a simple share of a whole.
Present a budget split or a small set of categories. Use positive values that belong to the same total, and avoid too many slices.
Scatter
Explore a relationship between two numbers.
Compare advertising spend and sales, or price and quantity. Look for clusters and outliers without assuming a relationship proves causation.
Funnel
Compare values across ordered stages.
Show visits, sign-ups, and purchases in a conversion flow. Use comparable counts and put stages in the order people move through them.
Metric
Give one number the spotlight.
Present total orders, an average, or another headline value. Add a clear title and unit so readers know what the number represents.
Illustrative sample data. Choose your chart type after opening the editor.
Give the details a purpose
Style the chart.
Keep the message clear.
Use Basic mode to focus on data and chart settings. Move into Advanced mode to arrange your composition, position text, and add annotations. Adjust the canvas and background for the place your chart will appear.
Colour with intention
Use consistent colours for the same categories. Highlight the data point you want to discuss, while keeping other values readable. Include labels so colour is not the only way to understand the chart.
Add the missing context
A title should explain the measure and time period. An annotation can call out a campaign launch, an unusual value, or a change in the source data. Use text to explain why a reader should care.
Check the final image
Review labels, axis ranges, and number formats before downloading. Preview the PNG at the size you will use in your report so the smallest text remains readable.
Made for everyday reporting.
A weekly business update
Pair a line chart of weekly orders with a headline metric. Add a note about the event that explains the change.
A classroom presentation
Compare survey responses in a bar chart. Use a descriptive title and include the number of responses in your supporting text.
A campaign review
Use a funnel to compare stages from visit to purchase, or a scatter chart to explore spend and outcomes across campaigns.
